870 "Express"

What's the difference with the "Express" vs regular?

[darksands]

The Express has slightly less quality control compared to the police and marine magnum. I am speaking of the HD shotguns in this case. I know there has been issues with the barrels needing to be sanded down on the inside with the express HD model.

Are the parts interchangeable?

Huh?

It's an 870, you're gonna be fine.

I actually had to sand down the chamber of my marine magnum, ever so slightly, but it made a big difference. No more "stuck shells".

Does the 870 Express come with a removable choke? I think it came with an improved choke? Can't remember.

Here's a breakdown of differences between an Express and a Wingmaster, as written by dfariswheel on THR:

The last time I checked the Express had:
A rougher finish inside and out. More burrs.
A rough black finish.
A hard wood or synthetic stock.
Cheaper, impressed checkering.
A black bolt.
A plastic trigger group.
"Possible" a two piece barrel.
The new style magazine assembly with plastic parts.
A rougher bore in the barrel.
Uses some MIM, (moulded steel parts) in critical areas, like the extractor.

The Wingmaster had:
A much smoother finish inside and out. No burrs.
A polished blue finish.
Walnut or synthetic stocks with choice of gloss or satin finish.
Better quality checkering.
A chrome plated bolt.
An aluminum trigger group.
A one piece barrel.
The old style steel magazine assembly.
A much smoother bore.
No MIM parts are used in any critical area.

Bottom line: If you want a better quality, better looking gun, buy the Wingmaster.
If price is your big concern, buy the Express.

my Express only came with one choke. when i got it (walmart special) there was a little "upgrade package" available that had a three different chokes a wrench, oil and some cleaning supplies in it. i think it was 30 bucks.
